The Design Hazards Podcast

Design can get a little bit messy...We're here to clean it up

Design and furniture experts Roger and Chris Stout-Hazard share tips, answer questions, and chat about the latest trends in interior design. Known for their custom American furniture brand Roger + Chris, their widely-published design projects, and Roger's long running TV shows Sell This House, Sell This House Extreme, and Move This House (as seen on A&E Networks, DABL, etc.), the guys have plenty of opinions about how to create a more beautiful, functional, and happy home.

We would love your questions for future episodes. If you're stumped on color, struggling with a floorplan, or perplexed by the unique quirks of your home, we can help! Email your question to [email protected]. We'd love it if you sent your question as an audio file, but if you're too shy, you can send your question as text, too.
